Steve Yzerman appears to be safe no matter what, unless he wants a change
TSN: The Detroit Red Wings could miss the playoffs for the 10th consecutive season, and despite that, GM Steve Yzerman could be back for another season, according to Darren Dreger.
“But the understanding is that Yzerman remains aligned with owner Chris Ilitch. So, if there is a management change brewing in Detroit, it’ll be because Yzerman feels that his time is up and that is unlikely at this stage.
I think that the Red Wings are more apt to add than subtract in the off-season. If you look at their roster, they’re desperate for another centreman to take some of the load off captain Dylan Larkin.”
